Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 122, Issue 4, August 2026.Optimized extracts from Ficus carica pruning waste exhibit strong biological activity against major stink bug pests. Complementary in silico analyses suggest this efficacy relies on pest‐specific acetylcholinesterase inhibition, predicting a promising, pollinator‐safe alternative for sustainable agriculture.

Lippia umbellata Cav.: Chemical Composition, Insecticidal, and Antimicrobial Activities
Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 8, August 2026.Hexane extracts of Lippia umbellata leaves and flowers contain lupenone, α‐amyrin, and hentriacontane. They exhibit insecticidal activity against Drosophila melanogaster and inhibit AChE in vitro and in silico. Furthermore, the extracts can inhibit the growth of medically important bacteria and yeasts, including multidrug‐resistant strains.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 8, Page 7510-7525, August 2026.Leaf age influences metabolomic profiling but not bioactivity of Eucalyptus globulus essential oils. Leaf age affects volatile levels of young and adult E. globulus oils, but not their bioactivity. Young leaf essential oil had higher contents of α‐ and β‐pinene. AEEO had higher levels of 1,8‐cineole and trans‐pinocarveol.

Synthesis of new isoxazole derivatives with larvicidal activity [PDF]
Proceedings of the 14th Brazilian Meeting on Organic Synthesis Proceedings, 2013 One of the major routes of detoxification (removal of free radicals) in Aedes aegypti mosquitos is the kynurenine pathway. In this biochemical pathway, the most important reaction is the conversion of 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK), a harmful metabolite that leads to insect death, into xanthurenic acid, a nontoxic substance. This conversion is performed by

Vectors and Vector‐Borne Diseases: Biology, Epidemiology and Integrated Control Strategies
Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 7, Page 990-1015, August 2026.ABSTRACT Vector‐Borne Diseases (VBDs), transmitted by arthropods such as mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and sandflies, represent a significant threat to global health. These diseases can be caused by a variety of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminths.

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2026.The monocyclic sesquiterpene α‐humulene elicited a significant anxiolytic‐like behavior in adult zebrafish and no observable acute toxicity. Pharmacological dissection suggested that this effect is independent of the benzodiazepine (BZD) binding site on the gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) type A receptor (GABAAR), but it depends on the serotonin type 3 ...
